Earlier last year, I had the wonderful privilege to work with some of my fellow Town of Odyssey members on the 25th anniversary edition of The Official Guide. We went through the 2008 version pointing out goofs or typos, suggesting new additions, and other things.

Because of our involvement with the making of the book, we all got a free copy of the book and, best of all, our names in it! 


I want to thank Nathan Hoobler for allowing me and other ToOers to be a part of the making of this behemoth of a book!

There's a lot of new material in this edition, including more behind the scenes info, new interviews, pictures, and more! Make sure to order your own copy soon!

2012 promises to be a big year for Odyssey. Not only is there going to be a live show in June, not to mention some awesome new episodes, but we're also getting some great new merchandise this year!

First off, a sequel to 2008's Platinum Collection called the Silver Celebration will be released this September. It will contain 36 episodes on 12 CDs with an show from each of AIO's 25 years.

Also, remember our post about a new devotional book coming out? Well, we've got more info on that! It's going to be called 90-Day Devotions for Kids. It will be released in October.

Last but not least, is the updated and revised Official Guide. It will contain information and behind the scenes tidbits for Albums 51-56. If you already have the 2008 edition, don't worry. Having been one of the people who helped with spotting errors in the last book and suggesting new content, I assure you that this book will have lots of new things to go with the stuff in the last edition. Oh, this will also be released in October.

So which of these products do you think you're the most excited about?

If you wanted to know about nearly everything about Odyssey's behind the scenes moments and fun trivia, you'll be glad to know that there's going to be a new updated edition coming soon!

Here's what we know so far:

It is to commemorate the 25th Anniversary
